Welcome to the clean and simple challenge for October at House of Cards. This month, Mynn is asking us to use a punch or a die in our creations. Boy! This is a wide open challenge- you can go just about anywhere with it. That means no excuses- grab a long ignored punch or a brand new die and play along with us this month.

The CAS team can't wait to see what inspires you! Remember you have the whole month to play along!

And now a quick written tutorial on how to create the background for a card like this! It's super simple and I'm 100% sure that you have everything you need to make it already. Just be willing to improvise, ok?

What you'll need:

White cardstock

Desired inks (I used 2 shades of orange and 2 shades of purple plus black for the sentiment.)

Sponges or a blending tool

Glimmer mist or a spray bottle

A circle punched from scrap paper

Removeable adhesive (or just a small bit of non-removable--for masking)

Sentiment

Heat tool (Optional--I'm lazy. ;) )

How to:

Start by positioning the circle and adhering it where you want your "moon" to be located.

Sponge or blend on your colors.

Spray with water or glimmer mist.

Either wait for it to dry or use your heat tool to dry it more quickly.

Take off the circular mask.

Stamp the sentiment.

Add a bit of glitter to the moon if desired.

Finish your card!

See! Super simple! Thanks for popping over today, friends! Come back on Monday for MORE inspiration from this very talented Design Team! We hope you join in the fun, too--please check out our House Rules HERE before linking up! HUGS and happy stamping to you all! Can't wait to see your creations!
